Lin Zhou, Taoqi Wang and Bingzhong Ren; deposited in the Jilin  Provincial Key Laboratory of Animal Resource Conservation and Utilization, NENU2023M0001, NENU2023M0002, and NENU2023M0003.

Tenth abdominal sternite wider (0.7 mm) than long (0.5 mm), with a pair of slightly curved symmetrical apical processes, a pair of oval paraprocts, and an epiproct (Figs. 26–28). Epiproct symmetrical with a short, round, blunt triangular median projection on the posterior margin, the center extending as a downward curved cone (Fig. 26). Coxopodites asymmetrical: left coxopodite longer (1.3 mm) than wide (1.2mm), about two-thirds the length of the eighth abdominal sternite; the base wide, gradually narrowing towards the apex. Right coxopodite longer (1.4 mm) than wide (0.6mm), sclerotized, with inner side and basal segment narrow. Subgenital plate wider than long, distal edge is sclerotized (Fig. 27).</p><p>Diagnosis. This redescription revealed a notable similarity between the morphological characteristics of  G. sinensis and those of  G. notabilis Silvestri, 1927 from Japan. However,  G. sinensis differs from the latter in having well-developed compound eyes and a symmetrical epiproct in males with a short, round, blunt triangular median projection on the posterior margin, extending into a downward-curved cone. In contrast,  G. notabilis lacks compound eyes, and the shape of the medial process at the posterior margin of the epiproct in males significantly differs from that of  G. sinensis . Moreover,  G. sinensis differs from other congeners by having antennae with 34 antennomeres, well-developed compound eyes, and male epiproct with a short, broadly triangular median projection on the posterior margin. The ovipositor of  G. sinensis is situated on the posterior margin of the 8th abdominal segment, not reaching the end of the 4th cercomere.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03ED87833231D300888AFAD0E6ABF9B3	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
